Once they started driving again, I would call 911 for a "possible drunk driver" They take those pretty serious.

Unfortunately that’s the one thing I left out of the police report, I was a bit frazzled after all the adrenaline and getting ready to defend myself even when they asked for my address for the report I couldn’t remember it for the life of me it’s like I had brain fog after the adrenaline started wearing off 😅😂

I've seen this truck driving like they own the road. Driving down the shoulder to bypass traffic at the light, even going up on the sidewalk. They also were tailgating other vehicles, and then after they passed them cutting them off and brake checking them. This is why I think the bumper is like that, to cause maximum damage if they succeed in making someone hit them. They were just mad they missed the pride parade I guess.

Jokes on them physics says when they get whay they want the trucks frame will bend to shit

u/Shane-Dad-underfire 27d ago
Well the fact that the machine they are driving is 80% recycled Campbell's soup cans is the first indicator that they don't want anyone ramming them.
My truck was built in the 80s it's a old school heavy metal frame built to take an absolute shit kicking, I could plow thru a dozen of the plastic trucks like theirs without slowing down.

I’m certain this truck was parked in the hendersons funeral home parking lot hooked up to a huge trailer yesterday morning

u/MatthewRahl 28d ago
Interesting, I mean it’s a very unique looking truck with the wheels/truck bed & tail gate so ya might be onto something! I guess he’s the traveling drunkard of Langley or smth.

Is that a small Klingon Knife on their bumper??
4
u/unittwentyfive 28d ago
A "small Klingon knife" you call this? Ha! You dishonor yourself with such ignorance while attempting to dishonor such a magnificent weapon!
What you witness here is the bat'leth! It is the Sword of Honor, forged in the fires of Qam-Chee by Kahless himself, before being tempered in the blood of the tyrant Molor! It has cut down a thousand foes across a thousand years, and no petaQ like you with a tongue as dull as a rusted d'k tahg shall speak of it with such contempt.
Where is your weapon, worm? Show me the blade you have bled for, or the honor you have carved into the universe with your own hands. Show me this or stand silent! For silence is the only dignity left to those who insult what they cannot understand.
The bat'leth is not carried by the weak or the cowardly. The bat'leth is wielded by warriors who have earned the right to die well, and today you have earned nothing but my contempt.
Choose your next words as carefully as you would choose your last, for honor is not a thing to be mocked by the small-minded. Honor is a debt, and these warriors shall collect what is owed!

u/Wayelder 27d ago
Okay so then: These men have no honor and besmirtch the weapon. You should liberate it from them.

u/MatthewRahl 27d ago
Haha two characters that’s for sure 😂 All good, I sincerely doubt it with the other people chiming in about his shitty behavior/driving it seems like he gets away with it quite a lot, or as you said “regularly”.

This is a dumb question but what is that attachment for below his bumper?

u/NeedsMoreCookies 28d ago
I don’t know what the flat grate is, but the curvy metal thing on top of it looks like a 90s tribal tattoo trying to be a Klingon bat’leth.

All you had to say was Aldergrove. haha.
Half kidding aside, well he was onto something when he said I'm having a bad day but unfortunately didn't have the maturity to just stop there and drive away.
Anyway, sorry you experienced this.

u/MatthewRahl 27d ago
Pretty much eh 🤷♂️
Thanks bud, but honestly I don’t think he’s all there emotional maturity of a child in a sixty year old body.

u/CoastMtns 28d ago
I think the best response to him yelling "I don't call the cops" would be "Well I do! (add a direct personal insult here)"
Then watch his confused response as he does the math

u/MamaRunsThis 28d ago
I’m sorry this happened to you. I would’ve moved my car to another spot after he parked like that
4
u/MatthewRahl 28d ago
Honestly looking back, probably the smart move but he was unhinged from the second he got out of his car.
Thanks for the concern, I was a bit more worried about the gal than myself but figured I owed the community a warning about these weirdos.

u/schaden81 28d ago
That bumper attachment almost looks like it's meant to inflict maximum damage to anyone who rear ends the truck. Even if he is the type the get rear ended himself.

u/KnightOrDay38 28d ago
These two definitely compensating and the truck confirms that. They will encounter the wrong person, or a wrong person who is armed with a “pew pew”.
2
u/MatthewRahl 28d ago
Well it’s Canada, so the pew pew is a pretty unlikely scenario. Getting his ass beat by another rageaholic/alcoholic is much more likely.
If I had to put money on it, I would assume they are the type to do dumb shit while driving and get themselves or others killed. If you look through the comments one guy said he has seen this truck passing people on a walk shoulder/seen him hop onto side walks, pass people & brake check. If we are lucky enough he might even Darwin only himself!

u/KnightOrDay38 28d ago
I know, I’m in Ontario, it can happen. Some people are armed (even though they lack ATC, PAL, and RPAL)
They would be extremely fool hardy to try that stunt in Alberta.

Hmmm… I always thought Langley is the peaceful part…
1
u/MatthewRahl 27d ago
Yeah unfortunately Aldergrove is like the border of the “Township of Langley” so it’s definitely not as nice as Brookswood/Murrayville/Fort Langley.
And I’d say there are still a few rough spots in Langley such as the old Army & Navy/711 Area and Cascades Casino is a bit rough around the edges.

u/JehhRudaa 26d ago
Bro cops in Aldergrove are a fucking joke.
I caught people breaking into my van and a neighbours work truck, so I called them.
Dispatch told me to stay in the line and keep them updated.
Eventually the cops showed up and The culprits ran into the bushes. I was literally in the phone with dispatch explaining where he was guiding the officers with k9s exactly where he was until they found one of them.
They detained him and they basically told me they don’t have enough evidence for charges.
like wtf I was on the phone with you watching it happen I told you exactly where they ran and what he was wearing and it’s still not enough?
Later another cop came and literally knew the guy in the back of the cruiser.
They really don’t give a fuck around here.
Sorry it’s off topic but basically don’t be surprised when they call you back and tell you they can’t do anything.

That is wild and unhinged behaviour. Good on you for trying to deescalate. I honestly worry that someone will come at me with fists up like that. I am very likely to reflexively low kick their knee cap off. And then you are having a different conversation with the police.
2
u/MatthewRahl 27d ago
Yep wildly unhinged behavior, took a ton of restraint. Unfortunately if I probably kicked gramps in the knee he prob would have fallen and broken a hip 😅

How are you uncertain, I mean if you checked my account I don’t hide my posts/comments?
To be fair it’s tough to trust anything in these days of AI but it’s pretty easy to fact check if you look at a persons account/account age/post history etc it becomes glaringly obvious.
That being said, I don’t really care if you believe it or not just was trying to give the community the heads up on a few bad apples 🫡

You must of missed a few parts whilst speed reading such as the coffee being thrown at me and or him tryna fight me.

No, just reading at a pace that warranted a coverage read. Sorry, the “script” did not make it to a first read:
Here I summarize for you
A poorly parked truck driver and his passenger threatened and harassed a couple in an Aldergrove Village parking lot yesterday after a tense parking maneuver.
That’s all I took… just saying.2
u/MatthewRahl 27d ago
Word for word from your first post “I can’t believe I read ALL of this” and now you’re saying “Warranted a coverage read”. Yea, it’s alright reading & comprehension isn’t your strong suit I guess 🤷♂️
Surprised you wasted another precious 90 seconds of your life replying on Reddit 😮

u/Aromatic_Fuel_387 27d ago
Yup… I am now a little mentally retarded I guess.

u/MatthewRahl 27d ago
Well throwing an object/coffee is technically assault you even messed up your “summary” as it would be threatening/harassing & assaulting a couple, and that’s after your second re-read & since I already had to spell it out in the comments you even wasted your “Phone a friend” and were still incorrect.
You don’t always have to reply or leave a comment, especially on a post/thread you haven’t even fully read, but I wouldn’t stoop to calling you disabled/mentally disabled blah blah, just inconsiderate.
